Decipher Overview:

Decipher 2022 is the second annual gathering of the builders, founders, investors, and strategists deciphering the future on Algorand.

At Decipher you will:

• Hear from leaders throughout (and beyond) the Algorand ecosystem: visionary founders of top projects, prolific builders, award-winning cryptographers, strategic investors, and innovative creators
• Learn about the latest developer tools, protocol upgrades, and whitespace opportunities for builders… plus sessions on blockchain interoperability, financial inclusion, defi, NFTs, gaming and the metaverse, blockchain for social impact, and more
• Make new connections, strengthen and grow the Algorand community, and leave inspired for the future!

There is supposed to be some big announcements, very interested to see what the next year will look like and what interesting projects are being worked on. It looks as though Algorand is spear heading development in the Middle East and Africa. Both areas that would benefit from blockchain technology greatly.

Last years talk by Silvio Micali was amazing. I highly recommend giving it a listen:
